Patent number: 10512355Abstract: A kitchen utensil or device, specifically a strainer, is constructed and adapted to attach removably to the side of a pan, pot, or bowl, to provide a convenient means to allow for the separation of solid food product from liquid. The strainer includes a generally planar top surface, having a plurality of small gauge holes, slits, or openings in its surface. The holes are effective to allow a liquid to pass through the surface of the utensil while retaining the solid food product. The device is attachable by a clip to the rim of an existing pan, pot, or bowl.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2016Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: TONOGA INC.Inventors: George Davison, John Frederic Cooper

Patent number: 8786506Abstract: A low power, lightweight, collapsible and rugged antenna positioner for use in communicating with geostationary, geosynchronous and low earth orbit satellite. By collapsing, invention may be easily carried or shipped in a compact container. May be used in remote locations with simple or automated setup and orientation. Azimuth is adjusted by rotating an antenna in relation to a positioner base and elevation is adjusted by rotating an elevation motor coupled with the antenna. Manual orientation of antenna for linear polarized satellites yields lower weight and power usage. Updates ephemeris or TLE data via satellite. Algorithms used for search including Clarke Belt fallback, transponder/beacon searching switch, azimuth priority searching and tracking including uneven re-peak scheduling yield lower power usage. Orientation aid via user interface allows for smaller azimuth motor, simplifies wiring and lowers weight. Tilt compensation, bump detection and failure contingency provide robustness.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignees: Antennasys, Inc., GBS Positioner, LLCInventors: Keith Ayotte, Paul Lagasse, David Martin, Anthony Sorrentino, Spencer Webb, Mark Wheeler, George Davison

Patent number: 7056322Abstract: An intramedullary nail fastener targeting and bone compression/distraction device provides bone fastener alignment and compression or distraction of the bone. The intramedullary nail fastener targeting and bone compression/distraction device has a nail carrier portion, a bone fastener alignment and drill jig portion, and a compression/distraction mechanism. Various sizes of intramedullary nails are retained by the device while alignment carriages provides for proper drilling of the bone and placement of bone fasteners such as screws. The compression/distraction mechanism provides measured compression or distraction of the bone prior to final bone fastener placement.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2002Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Depuy Orthopaedics, Inc.Inventors: Dale George Davison, Paul S.
